Lightning-Rod W. German Cop Unmasked as Stasi Spy

Revelation likened to discovering Kent State shooters were KGB agents

(Newser) – The West German cop whose shooting of an unarmed protester in 1967 changed the country forever has been unmasked as an East German spy by historians going through Stasi files, the New York Times reports. The shooting sparked a wide, sometimes violent left-wing protest movement many believe spawned Germany's current liberal disposition. The revelation that the "fascist cop" was a socialist spy has rocked the country.

Many now ask whether the policeman was ordered to shoot a protester by Stasi agents hoping to spark dissent. "The biggest milestone on the road toward violence was not what people thought it was,” said a former editor of Der Spiegel. "The pure fact that he was an agent from the East changes a lot, whether he acted on orders or not." The policeman, now 81, acknowledges belonging to the East German Communist Party but maintains the shooting was accidental.

Not at all surprising.Only the terminally stupid would claim that the Stasi didn't have thousands of agents in West Germany during the 50’s/60’s/70’s and even 80’s.Official Stasi files have shown that one in eight East Germans were Stasi informants.Husbands informed on wives...children informed on parents...PARENTS INFORMED ON CHILDREN!

Can we find our own Rat Party's near future by examining those Stasi files?

From what I've read in recent years was that the Kent state shooting was sparked by a Bill Ayers or SDS type. It does fit their MO.

Even Lucifer learned a new trick or two when the East Germans were in charge.

” False flag. “

One of the oldest tricks in the book, mentioned in Sun Tsu’s Big Book of Warfare...

The officer denied being told to do this by the Stasi. But he also claimed the killing was an accident. Right, an accidental shooting in the back of the head.

That’s one agent. KGB had plenty in those protest movements and ‘peace’ movements.

Soviets have been doing that since decades. Spies, agents of influence, support for radical movements be it nazis, commies, eco-nazis, “peace” movements whatever, any group that can generate instability. They do it now in Ukraine at a huge scale but they do that in the west too, scratch green freaks and there's Gazprom money in it, anything that can decrease competitiveness and make the opponent weak. The problem of the west is that it treats Russia as a normal country, when in fact it is a mongolid horde.
